Cell-CAM 105, a glycoprotein that is involved in recognition and adhesion between isolated rat hepatocytes in vitro, was purified to homogeneity by a combination of immunoaffinity chromatography, gel-exclusion chromatography and ion-exchange chromatography. Electrophoretic, compositional and enzymic analyses were performed and the glycoprotein was shown to consist of two peptide chains, of appa...

Carriers of bovine anaplasmosis in Northern Kerala, South India were detected using conventional microscopical and molecular techniques. PCR-RFLP and nested PCR techniques were used for detection of Anaplasma marginale and Anaplasma bovis respectively and the PCR products were confirmed by sequencing. Out of 150 samples tested, 25 were detected positive for A. marginale and five for A. bovis ba...

A new one-dimensional clarifier model was developed, including components of existing models, and extended with a height-dependent cross-sectional area and two flowrate-dependent dispersion coefficients. This model is evaluated using data from a detailed one-month measuring campaign on a full-scale wastewater treatment plant. The data included hourly sludge concentration profiles, sludge bed he...

BACKGROUND Reference ranges for haematological and other laboratory tests in most African countries are based on populations in Europe and America and, because of environmental and genetic factors, these may not accurately reflect the normal reference ranges in African populations. AIM To determine the distribution of haematological parameters in healthy individuals residing in Blantyre, Mala...

Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) have been associated with outcome in human cancers treated with cytotoxic chemotherapy. In a case-control study, we investigated the association between polymorphisms within the GSTM1, GSTT1, and GSTP1 genes and risk of relapse in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Cases were relapsed patients. Controls were successfully treated patients with a minim...

We analyzed RXTE data of GRS 1915+105 of X-ray low states between 1996 and 1998. The X-ray spectrum is dominated by the power law component. We found (i) that the power law is pivoting at 10-30 keV, (ii) that the power law slope correlates with radio flux, (iii) three different groups of 3-10 keV residuals, (iv) that one of these residual groups correlates with the power law slope. The prototyp...

— Several studies have investigated the use of supplemental feeders by Northern Bobwhites ( Colinus virginianus ) and non-target species, but none have previously examined the use of food spread along fields. We used motion-sensing cameras to assess use of supplemental quail food spread along the edges of fields. A total of 3,233 camera hours resulted in 591 animal pictures associated with 328 ...
